I'm using a php/MySQL based online library catalog system called OLA. It works perfect, except for the unseemly backslashes that appear before all single/double quotation marks in the data when (and only when) they are printed out.

I do note this is a common problem for many other php scripts, and I am aware that there is a way of killing those backslashes is to use the stripslashes command line, but the problem is I don't know how to write it and where to put it. I tried to contact the developpers of the script, but their email addresses proved invalid. Can I look for your help?

What follows are the two pages where I suspect the stripslashes command line should be added.

I don't want to be a lazy moderator but if you try to minimize the code just a little bit... It'll be a little bit easier to find the error.
Anyway, we cannot run the script if we don't have the whole application.
PLease, try to be as concrete as you can.
tHANx!!
